Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 1, 2008 -- The Covenant Security Companies, a leading, American-owned, global operation with a primary focus on security, training and assessments, has announced the appointment of Terry Hillard and Arnette Heintze as senior advisors to the Covenant Board of Directors.
"Terry and Arnette are experienced and highly respected professionals in the security and law enforcement fields," said Robert Coe, CEO of the Covenant Security Companies. "Their insight and independent oversight of our operations reinforces our position as a leader in providing quality performance in complex security operations which are politically sensitive."
Until 2003, as Chicago Police Superintendent, Terry Hillard led 13,500 officers in protecting one of the country's largest metropolitan centers. Hillard is nationally regarded for his results-driven leadership as well as his intensely personal commitment to individuals. At the helm of the Chicago Police Department, he created one of the most collaborative cultures in the history of law enforcement. During his tenure as the head of the nation's second largest police department, he initiated innovative, community-sponsored crime-prevention programs to protect and serve the citizens of Chicago - programs that today still help define national standards in community-based policing.
As the U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge in Chicago, Arnette Heintze planned, designed and implemented security strategies for U.S. Presidents and world leaders as well as high-profile events of national significance and the integrity of America's financial infrastructure. As the U.S. Secret Service's chief spokesperson, he also led the crisis communication team during some of the nation's most trying times. After retiring from the U.S. Secret Service in 2003, Heintze led the development of a comprehensive security strategy for a $30 billion division of an international food and beverage company before establishing Hillard Heintze in 2004.
"We are well aware of Covenant's strong reputation in the marketplace," said Terry Hillard, "and the need for its Board of Directors to provide strong, experience-based oversight in managing its operations, responsibilities, and risks. We look forward to working closely with Covenant's management team and board members to enhance the company's p improve quality at the operational level and value-added services for its Clients."
